“I stood in front of him, exhausted and broken, the tears welled in my eyes, ‘This isn't the body you fell in love with.’ Then he said, ‘You're right. It isn't the body I fell in love with.’”

Laura's husband then shared a poignant opinion about her post-baby body.

“‘Instead it's a body that grew our children, it fed our children, it comforted our children, it made life. Your body is the one I fall in love with every day. I didn't know what love was until I saw this body and found out all it could do, so thank you.’"The post – featured on her personal page Mum on the Run as well as in the well known Love What Matters community – has been shared over 20,000 times with thousands of mums adding their messages of support in the comments.

"If you needed a reminder, this is it, this body you have now," she concludes. "It's worth every bit of love and more."
